<p>The following accompanied this song when it was published:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>IN MEMORIAM&#8212;TUESDAY MORNING, NOV. 23, 1875<br>
This is one of several beautiful &#8220;songs without words&#8221; that my true and well tried friend, Dr. A. Brooks Everett, contributed for these pages only a short time before his death; and to me, it was as sweet as anything Schumann ever wrote. The words are Mrs. Slade&#8217;s, and I thank her for them. The dedication is mine.<br>
R. M. McIntosh

<p>Birds are rejoicing,<br>
O&#8217;er hill and dell;<br>
Hushed is thy voicing,<br>
Sweeter that fell.<br>
Friend of our happy days,<br>
Brother of prayer and praise,<br>
Thine own sweet music says,<br>
Loved one, farewell!</p>
<p>Thou hast ascended,<br>
Where angels dwell;<br>
Where, earth songs ended,<br>
Heav&#8217;n&#8217;s anthems swell.<br>
Safe, all the saints among,<br>
Blest with the praising throng,<br>
Singing the new made songs,<br>
Loved one, farewell!</p>
<p>Salvation&#8217;s story<br>
Then thou wilt tell;<br>
Triumphs of glory,<br>
Thy voice shall swell.<br>
Rest thou, oh, friend so dear,<br>
Thy precious Savior near,<br>
Where God shall wipe each tear,<br>
Loved one, farewell!</p>
<p>Safe from thee turning,<br>
Grief&#8217;s tones will knell;<br>
Hard, hard the learning,<br>
God doeth well!<br>
Till, be it soon or late,<br>
Up, at the pearly gate,<br>
We meet, oh watch and wait,<br>
Loved one, farewell!</p>
